May 15, 2019: As anyone who uses one of the various July 4, 1776 horoscopes to represent America knows, our national Mercury Rx in Cancer is opposed by Pluto Rx in Capricorn. In the 5:09 pm LMT chart, below, this opposition falls across the 2/8 axis with all the Taurus-Scorpio issues it brings. And of course, the Cancer-Capricorn axis relates to security, the domestic scene, nurturance, national

Building on yesterday’s Venus/Mars connection, Venus moves into Taurus which harmonizes with Mars’ same-day ingress into Cancer. While they won’t be making an exact aspect any more, they are still close enough to play nice with each other until May 18th.
Venus is strong in the sign she rules, which means solid, physical evidence of what you want/love. Values, money and relationships are expressed through subjective survival instincts and a “what’s in it for me?” approach. This transit can help you determine what has genuine value and how you can treat yourself on a tangible level. Selfish can be good when you look out for yourself and tune into what /who really makes you happy and secure. “Secure” is the key word – Venus in Taurus has no time for anything that’s unsafe or unproven. And, it must have growth potential – this is a fertile sign.
The “not quite” sextile to Mars in Cancer suggests that nurturing actions will enable personal growth, necessary indulgence and a recognition of what you really want. Venus in Taurus is one of the most sensual tranists, and it doesn’t have to be complicated. Focus on what feels/smells/tastes good without questioning it. If you like it and no one else does, who cares? This transit is about what makes you happy on a tangible level. Can you get more of it? Even better.
Having said this, Venus’ conjunction with Uranus will have some surprises – more on that in the daily post or you can read my Patreon post about this yearly conjunction.
Here are the aspects Venus in Taurus will make:
May 16th: sextile Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (1 deg)
May 18th: conjunct Uranus ( 3 deg)
May 22nd: inconjunct Ceres Rx in Sagittaiurs (8 deg)
May 23rd: inconjunct Pallas Rx in Libra (10 deg)
May 30th: trine South Node in Capricorn (18 deg)
May 30th: sextile Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)
May 31st: trine Saturn Rx in Capricorn (19 deg)
May 31st: sextile Juno in Cancer (20 deg)
Jun 1st: inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (20 deg)
Jun 2nd: trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (22 deg)
Jun 8th: Gemini ingress

Mars into Cancer coincides with Venus’ Taurus ingress, continuing the (separating) sextile between them. Mars in Cancer is nurturing, moody, protective actions with a domestic edge – family first, even if you’re not fully aware of how family motivates you. As Mars continues to harmonize with Venus (until May 18th) nurturing actions can net you solid evidence (Taurus) of what you want.
Mars in Cancer acts instinctively – emotion trumps logic and motivations are passionate and somewhat childlike. Cancer takes everything personally, so this transit can be quite volatile. If someone loses their temper you can bet it’s because they feel they’ve been attacked on a personal level.
Anger, arousal or initiative are based on primary needs, or the fear that those needs are being denied. Never forget that Cancer is a Cardinal sign, so there can be outbursts of anger or strength when you least expect it. There can also be assertiveness based on the need to remain safe. This is the grip that tightens when you try to pull away – the ferocious hug or the aggressive mother/child.
During this transit, consider the most personal trigger for your motivations. It’s ok if you act on something because of how it makes you feel (comfortable or uncomfortable). You don’t need to explain this to anyone, but self-awareness is helpful (so you don’t become the rampaging child).
Here are the aspects Mars in Cancer will make:
May 18th: trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (1 deg)
May 22nd: sextile Uranus in Taurus (4 deg)
May 23rd: square Chiron in Aries (5 deg)
May 27th: inconjunct Ceres in Sagittarius (7 deg)
Jun 1st: square Pallas in Libra (10 deg)
Jun 12th: conjunct North Node (17 deg)
Jun 14th: trine Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)
Jun 14th: opposite Saturn Rx in Capricorn (18 deg)
Jun 14th: inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (18 deg)
Jun 18th: conjunct Mercury (21 deg)
Jun 19th: opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn (22 deg)

Beto O’Rourke official portrait; US Government [Public domain]Recently yours truly was asked why no post concerning the astrology chart of 2020 candidate Beto O’Rourke has appeared on Stars Over Washington. For one thing, an accurate birth time for Baby Beto is elusive though perhaps it will eventually turn up. Another reason is that I must agree with expert astrology Marjorie Orr who writes that
